Therefore with Angels and Archangels, and with all the company of heaven, we laud and magnify thy glorious Name, evermore praising thee and saying, _Presbyter and People_. Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Of hosts, heaven and earth are full of thy glory. Glory be to thee, O Lord most high. Amen. PROPER PREFACES. _Upon_ CHRISTMAS-DAY, _and seven days after_. Because thou didst give Jesus Christ, thine only Son, to be born * [as on this day] for us, who, by the operation of the Holy Ghost, was made very man, of the substance of the blessed Virgin Mary his mother, and that without spot of sin, to make us clean from all sin. Therefore with Angels, &c. [Margin Note:] *_During the seven days after Christmas say_, as at this time. _Upon_ EASTER-DAY, _and seven days after_.

Therefore with Angels, &c. [Margin Note:] * _During the six days after Whitsunday say_, as at this time. _Upon the Feast of_ TRINITY _only_. Who art one God, one Lord; not one only Person, but three Persons in one Substance. For that which we believe of the glory of the Father, the same we believe of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, without any difference or inequality. Therefore with Angels, &c.
